A review by salemnities
The Hemlock Cure by Joanne Burn

5.0

Key ideas: Black plague, realism of growing up as a girl, strength of women as individuals and as allies, midwifery, and some very satisfying revenge.

I loved this book and the true-to-life language it's written with. especially compelling in the world we live in now, and the similarities between responses to covid and to the bubonic plague.

also very fun and INTERESTING read, heaps of cool information and a riveting plot.
